Bauer Grand

[Daniel Jackson]

Bill,
	Many thanks for all this info.

	Del please do tell....

	I'd be most interested and would appreciate you sending them. I'm a 		
little ignorant here but I think I can down load it - I'm not too 			
competant on computers - this is an old Mac -

	This looks like a Wessell to me. Other features- about 6 trichords in
the first bass area. No aggraffes in the treble. The bridges looked
substantial - but I could only get the short stick up before hitting the
wall. I'll have to return to do a more thorough inspection.>

	So now I have a driving reason to tackle the job of going into the
index. I'll give it a try. Thanks Bill
